In this study, we analyzed the nutritional composition properties of soybeans and the organic acids, amino acids and volatile flavor compounds of fermented soybean products. We used five soybean cultivars including Pyeongwon, Jinpung, Saedanbaek, Saeolkong and Cheonga for this experiment. Physicochemical analysis of soybeans, showed that the cured protein and fat contents were 35.12∼45.12 and 14.26∼20.14%, respectively. The rank order of major organic acids was lactic acid > acetic acid > fumaric acid, with Saedanbaek being the highest. Total amino acid content of the samples was 358.12∼657.28 mg/100 g, and glutamic acid, alanine, cysteine, valine, leucine, histidine and arginine were the major amino acids. We identified a total of 34 volatile aroma-compounds, including 7 alcohols, 7 acids, 7 ketones, 5 phenols, 2 esters, 1 furan, 4 pyrazines, and 1 miscellaneous compounds. As a result of this, could be applied to determine the suitability of cultivars and the quality for the process of the fermented soybean products.

삼채의 잎과 뿌리로부터 휘발성 화합물과 아미노산을 분석하였다. 휘발성 향기성분은 Headspace GC-MS방법으로 분석하였다. 잎 조직으로부터 18종의 휘발성화합물이 검출되었고, 21종의 화합물은 뿌리조직으로부터 분석되었다. 주요 향기성분은 diallyl disulphide였고, 잎(27.9%)과 뿌리(17.41)에서 가장 많이 함유하고 있었다. 또 다른 주요 황화합물은 methyl 2-propenyl disulfide, dimethyl disulfide, methyl 1-propenyl disulfide과 methyl 2-propenyl trisulfide이 잎과 뿌리에 모두 함유하고 있었다. 전체 46종 화합물 중 가장 많이 함유하고 있는 물질군은 황화합물이었다. 황화합물은 엽조직에 6종, 뿌리조직에는 5종이 함유되어 있었다. 또한 유리아미노산과 polyphenol성 화합물은 잎과 뿌리 조직에서 분석하였다. 잎과 뿌리 조직에서 아미노산은 20종과 19종이 각각 검출되었다. 총아미노산의 함량은 잎에서 0.134 mg/g, 뿌리조직에서 0.105 mg/g 함유하고 있었다. 총 polyphenol성 화합물 함량은 잎에서 0.28 mg/g, 뿌리에서 1.08 mg/g 함유하고 있었다. 이 결과는 삼채의 이용과 효율적인 재배에 기초자료를 제공할 수 있다.

초지 또는 농경지에 살포되는 퇴비와 액비에 의해 발생될 수 있는 악취민원에 대처하기 위하여, 돼지의 분과 뇨에 존재하는 악취물질 농도를 비교 분석하였다. 1.비육돈의 분과 뇨에 함유된 휘발성유기물의 농도 비교페놀, p-크레졸 및 페놀류 농도는 분 보다 뇨에서 높았으며(p<0.05), 분 보다 뇨에 축적된 비율이 페놀은 138배, p-크레졸은 545배 높았다. 인돌 농도는 분 보다 뇨에서 높았으며, 스카톨은 뇨 보다 분에서 높았다(p<0.05). 휘발성유기물은 대부분 뇨로 배설되었으며, 이 중 농도 및 악취강도가 가장 높은 물질인 p-크레졸이 뇨에 많이 함유되어 있다. 돼지 분뇨를 고액분리 하였을 때 퇴비로 이용되는 고체보다 액비로 이용되는 액상물질에서 악취가 훨씬 강할 것으로 예측된다. 2.비육돈의 분과 뇨에 함유된 휘발성지방산의 농도 비교아세트산과 단쇄지방산 농도는 분 보다 뇨에서 높았으며 (p<0.05), 부티르산과 프로피온산은 차이가 없었다(p> 0.05). 이성체지방산 중 I-부티르산의 농도는 뇨 보다 분에서 높았지만(p<0.05), I-발레르산과 이성체지방산은 차이가 없었다(p>0.05). 휘발성지방산 중에서 아세트산과 프로피온산은 분에서 각각 65와 20%, 뇨에서는 각각 93과 4%로 휘발성지방산의 대부분을 차지하였지만 아세트산과 프로피온산을 포함하는 단쇄지방산은 악취강도가 낮다. 반면에 악취강도가 상대적으로 높은 이성체지방산은 분과 뇨 간에 차이가 없기 때문에 휘발성지방산이 악취강도에 미치는 영향은 크지 않을 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 연구결과를 종합하면, 돼지 분뇨의 악취물질 중 악취강도가 높은 p-크레졸은 뇨에 많이 함유되어 있기 때문에 퇴비와 액비 생산과정 중 액상처리 시 악취강도가 매우 높을 것으로 추정된다. 다만, 악취강도는 휘발성지방산의 농도 변화에 따라 차이가 있을 것으로 생각된다.

본 연구는 한약재 (결명자, 계피, 산초, 감초) 추출물의 반추위내 발효와 미생물 활성에 대한 효과를 구명하기 위하여 수행되었다. In vitro 건물소화율은 계피와 산초 추출물 첨가구에서는 0시간대, 감초 추출물 첨가구에서는 3시간대에 대조구에 비해 현저히 (P<0.05) 낮았다. 한약재 추출물 첨가에 따른 발효 시간대별 휘발성 지방산 조성의 변화는 3시간대에서만 처리간 유의성이 인정되었는데, acetate 비율은 대조구가 천연 추출물 첨가구보다 유의적으로 높았으나, butyrate, isobutyrate, isovalerate 및 valerate은 대조구에서 가장 낮았다 (P<0.05). 미생물 성장율은 발효 3시간대에서 결명자 첨가구를 제외한 한약재 첨가구에서 대조구에 비해 유의적(P<0.05)으로높았으나다른발효시간대에서는차이가없었다 이상의 결과로부터 한약재로 사용되고 있는 계피, 산초 및 감초 추출물을 in vitro 반추위 배양액에 첨가하였을 때, 발효초기에 반추위 미생물의 활성을 억제하는 경향은 있었으나 미생물 성장에 대한 억제 효과는 없는 것으로 나타났다.

This study was conducted to investgate the effect of gamma irradiation on the lipid oxidation, olfactory properties, fatty acid isomer and volatile compound profiles of five different oil sources. Three plant oils, canola oil, corn oil and soy oil, and two animal fat, tallow and fish oil, were irradiated with 0, 5, 10, and 20 kGy level of dose by Co-60 as a radiation source. Lipid oxidation parameters, FFA, POV and TBARS, were determined according to the AACC and AOCS method. Olfactory property of irradiated oil sources was analyzed using electronic nose (FOX3000, AlphaMOS Co., France) with 12 metal oxide sensors and the result was interpreted using principle component analysis program. Fatty acid isomer profiles and volatile compound profiles of irradiated oils were also measured by GC and GC-MS, respectively. Although the free fatty acid level of oil were the highest by high dose level (20 kGy) of irradiation, changes of both TBARS and POV values by gamma irradiation were varied between oil sources and irradiation level of dose. Electronic nose analysis showed a distinct difference among dose levels of irradiation. Although there was no new volatile compound produced by gamma irradiation, amounts of each volatile compounds were increased by irradiation. Only cis isomer, 9c12c15c of linolenic acid was dose-dependently decreased as irradiation level increased but there was no difference among other isomer profiles of linoleic acid and linolenic acid by gamma irradiation. This study showed that changes in physico-chemical properties of both plant and animal oil were remarkable by gamma irradiation. Therefore, a further study should be needed to scrutinize the interaction among lipid oxidation, production of volatile compounds and off-flavor, and isomerization of fatty acid by gamma-irradiation.

Benthic organisms dwell in sediment-water interface that contains significant amount of organic and inorganic contaminants. Their feeding behavior is highly related with sediment itself and pore water in the sediments, especially in ease of deposit feeder

This study aimed to investigate the effect of amino acid additives to weaned piglet diets on the pH and volatile fatty acids of pig slurries. A total of 135 weaned 22 -day-old piglets (Yorkshire x Landrace x Duroc) were used in this 56-d study. The three dietary treatments were as follows: (1) Control as a basal diet, (2) 1% amino acid additive and (3) 2% amino acid additive. Both pH and acetic acid values at 71 and 78 days were significantly different in all treatment groups (p<0.05). In addition, significant differences in propionic acid values were observed among treatment groups at 64 and 78 days (p<0.05). However, pH, acetic acid, and propionic acid values did not differ between 1% and 2% amino acid treatment groups. In conclusion, adding 1% and 2% amino acid to weaned piglet diets reduced the pH, acetic acid and propionic acid contents of pig slurries by acting as a probiotic. This may help formulate increase management strategies for improving the pig housing environment.

The effects of essential oils on pH, pathogens, and volatile fatty acids (VFA) in two poultry litters were investigated through a lab study. Essential oil-added poultry litters were randomly divided to two groups: control (200 g poultry litter) and Treatment (50 g thymol/Briefly, 200 g broiler litter was treated with or without 50 g thymol (Control and T1, respectively; 1 groups) and 200 g duck litter was treated with or without 50 g carvacrol (Control and T2, respectively; 2 group). Adding thymol to broiler litter increased the pH, reduced pathogens, and did not affect VFA. Interestingly, adding carvacrol slightly reduced the pH of duck litter, but had no significant effect on reducing pathogens and VFA. This difference is probably because the essential oil used and the properties of the two litters are different. In addition, pH was thought to control the odor generated from the litter, but this has not been proven. Further field studies should focus on clarifying this point.

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the effect of replacing 40% corn meal with three different types of barley (Youngyang, Wooho, and Yuyeon) on the chemical compositions, microbial indices, gas emission, and volatile fatty acid (VFA) content in feces of growing pigs. Sixteen pigs (Landrace × Yorkshire × Duroc) with an initial average body weight of 71 ± 2 kg were maintained in metabolic cages and randomly allotted to four treatments containing different sources of barley, for 23 days. The treatment with three different barley types replacing 40% ground corn showed no effect (P>0.05) on fecal chemical compositions, microbial indices, gas emission, and VFA. However, some differences (P<0.05) were noted in the chemical compositions of crude fiber and ash, and in the levels of Lactobacillus and Salmonella in the feces of the growing pigs. In conclusion, methane and hydrogen sulfide decreased by replacing 40% corn meal with Youngyang and Wooho barley, respectively.
